Sweeeeeeet looking ride. I too like the GT-H and tried to rent one but could never get one so I bought a '07 GT/CS.
Looks really nice...great job with the stripes |

I am still having a blast driving it, but I avoid the salt and sloppy days. So much for it being a 100% daily driver! My old Suburban still gets the nod when the roads are nasty... I do plan to install a cold air intake and reprogram the computer very shortly, although that won't change the appearance. One appearance mod I am considering is changing my exhaust tips to larger ones that fill the openings in the bumper better. I am worried about changing the mufflers, because I do not want to make the car louder at highway speeds. (If I want LOUD, I've got my Roadrunner:jester:.) Does anyone know if just exhaust tips are available? Thanks, Hawk |

Sorry, no new pics yet. With the Pennsylvania winter, the car isn't getting washed as often as I would like it, and it certainly isn't getting detailed the way it should be! (Although my wife thinks I'm nuts when I wash it in 40 Degree weather:poke:)

Good luck and I love what you did with the car! :nice: |

Hey Hawk, its Jeff. How have ya been? You can get a set of Ford Chrome Tips. That would help a little. The just bolt on. In regards to the car being louder at highway speeds with new mufflers, here is what I can tell you. Before I added my headers, the car at highway speeds wasn't bad at all. In 5th gear, it was downright quite with only the Borla Stingers. If you ever want to, just give me a call. I can take you out in my car on the highway, and you can see how it sounds. Even with my headers, the car in 5th at highway cruising speeds isn't bad at all. I can easily hold a conversation in it, without having to raise my voice. :nice:
Thanks for the help. Yeah, I guess the best thing is to listen to a few cars before I make any move on mufflers. I am guessing that it will be spring or summer before I go shopping for mufflers, and I'm sure we'll touch base before then - perhaps at a car show!? 1st order of business is to purchase the CAI and tune. I guess I need to finalize which "package" I should get. I definitely want to get the CAI and tune together, so they are made to work with one another. I also want a tune for both 87 and 93 octane, so I can do both. I don't really plan anything wild for now (maybe in a few years:jester:). |

I have not seen just tips but I am sure they are out there. I love the Ford racing exhaust on my Shelby though. I didn't want a loud car unless I was stomping on it. That is exactly what I got too. It is quite with just a slight burble (Is that really a word?) and gets deeper the more gas you give it but still quite a bit softer than some of the other aftermarket ones. That and the tips fill out the bumper VERY nice.
There are pics of my car in the Shelby GT section if you want to see what they look like. Good luck and I love what you did with the car! :nice: First of all, your car is SWEET! It must be a blast to drive! Thanks for the details regarding the Ford Racing Exhaust. I will be sure to add those to my list of mufflers to check out when the time comes late spring or summer. What I want to avoid are mufflers like my Roadrunner has. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the sound. The car sounds wicked, but not too loud. BUT, when you put your foot in it the car rattles the windows of the whole neighborhood. It is great fun, but if I started the car regularly at 5 AM my neighbors would chase me out of the neighborhood! Furthermore, the Roadrunner gets very tiring on a long drive. The exhaust drone makes it hard to have a conversation. We'll have to keep the Mustang more timid... Regards, Hawk |

I love the Hertz Shelby GT-H cars, so I made my own. I ordered a black GT/CS, manual, parchment and black interior, 3.55 rear, and all options except navigation, shaker 1000 and satellite. As soon as I got it I pulled the black GT/CS stripe off the car, and put on gold decals. I didn't want to pass mine off as a GT-H, so it still proudly wears "GT/CS" on the gold side stripe. I striped the hood scoop, since 1966 GT-H cars had that. I tried to make it as close to a 2006 GT-H as possible. I'm having an absoulte BLAST driving it, and I think it looks better in real life than pictures! Thanks also to this forum for helping me with many decisions about my Mustang. In that light, I'll post my pictures here for anyone considering the same thing as I did, so you can decide if you like it or not... |
